  Canceling a domain after 2 days of purchase means you completely give up ownership of the domain. There is no guarantee the domain will become available to re-register after cancellation.

  You are welcome to keep your domain with us and update the nameservers to point to another hosting provider by following this guide:

  After 60 days from the date of purchase, renewal, or nameserver change, you may also transfer your domain to another registrar.

  If you would like to completely cancel your ownership of the threehedgehogsandotheroddities.com domain name, please reply to confirm.

  I’ve cancelled threehedgehogsandotheroddities.com as requested.

  You can now permanently delete the blog itself at Tools -> Delete Site in its dashboard.

  Don’t hesitate to contact us again if you need anymore help. :-)
